We have been very "lucky" thus far in protecting those who are vulnerable in the Basin community, but that luck has been very much accompanied by diligence. With this in mind we would ask that you adhere to the notices posted:-

RESPONSIBILITY for the safe use of the Teaspot MUST rest with those using it.
HANDS - should be sanitized before using any of the utensils.
TEASPOONS - one person use and discard in container provided.
TEABAGS - please use the tongs provided to remove from the jar
MUGS - Leave on the tray by the kitchen door.

Atlas and Malus
Coombeswood Canal Trust and the BCNS jointly own and operate a working pair of heritage workboats; Atlas the motor and Malus its butty. These are run with the help of volunteers.
These are the latest crewing requirements with A&M,
including DofE Residential dates which are subject to change depending on the number of bookings taken.:-
If you are interested in helping to crew Atlas and Malus or maybe becoming a ' boat sitter ' and explaining about the life on board a working boat and how the boatman's cabin could accommodate a family
then how about spending a couple of hours on the dates that request a " sitter ". There is a document available to help with the explanation and layout.
Anyone interested in helping out please let me know. A big thanks to those who have come along on any of the previous dates last year, it was a busy one! Without your help the boats would not be able to operate. PaulSmith paul.smith879@yahoo.co.uk
This is the trading arm of the Trust and is wholly owned by the Trust.
It's main activity is to provide boatyard facilities and run the shop where you can purchase a small range of chandlery for all your boating essentials such as cheap diesel, Calor gas, smokeless coal.
Anything we do not have in stock we can order for you.
